Life in a 55+ Community

We weren't exactly sure this is where we wanted to spend our "Golden Years" but here in NJ community living is usually 55+. We looked in Delaware and actually found several places we'd like to live in a community with all ages, but when it came down to a decision, I just could not move so far away from the "grands". So, here we are. It's a fairly new community so there's lots of waving going on since no one's exactly sure they know who you are or can remember. Some of the people have been here for almost 3 years and have found friends, some moved their friends in and some their family here. The Clubhouse is wonderful, lots of activities, however I've been told that once the builder is out of here, things may take a dive. We'll see!

We've begun the pastime of checking out the neighbors, their comings and goings. Especially funny is how the recycling bins come out around the same time, then go in and then the garbage comes out, but you never see anyone doing this!
Mostly I look around the clubhouse and think...am I really this old?
